They were also the first choices of many on this board.Well, his 1st choices to replace G-Rob were Edsall and Skippy so you be the judge...

True enough but other like OttoinGrotto was on Kevin Sumlin early. I may start paying more attention.They were also the first choices of many on this board.

Except in this I'm a Battleship and you are shooting a BB gun from shore. I'll send bees out with a can if paint to cover up those 'holes' you left. I'll give you that I'm sure you've poked holes at me before, I just can't fathom any this time.
It's easy. Look at the coaches from places that usually aren't all that good that are suddenly scoring points.True enough but other like OttoinGrotto was on Kevin Sumlin early. I may start paying more attention.
Try to not let it bother you too much. Kaiser has a way of talking down to people.Hey now - don't get all too high and mighty for us your highness. You act like you're the only guy with a brain.
I couched everything I was saying in "could be wrong" and "this is probably not how it happened"... Given the lack of evidence either way - and SS and Gross not chiming in, I'd say no one can be certain of much.
Actually, his first choice was some assistant at Oregon.Well, his 1st choices to replace G-Rob were Edsall and Skippy so you be the judge...
Fixed. I'm not saying that what happened - but let's be clear: removing a guy based on performance and replacing him with the guy next in line is kind of what happens all the time in corporate America. Did Marrone and Gross butt heads? Was he unimpressed with his recruiting success? Wins on the field?
Gross has access to SS, said he'd been impressed with him since the beginning. The lack of a search, followed by the rather quick hire has always been attributed to bad timing for a coach search and keeping the recruits we had... Is it out of the question to think that Gross always had SS in mind, should Marrone take another job OR be relieved of his position?

Why???You know this for sure?
I'm not assuming that he was told "win this year or it's time to go"... But if he was? One very good offensive year and a Pinstripe Bowl not only saved his job, but was enough for Gross to hire SS when the NFL calls?
This "you never fire the HC and hire an assistant" mantra seems like it's writ in stone or something. I'm just saying it's possible.
hiring SS...and Syracuse becoming a national joke.

I'm praying for reading comprehension for you.I hope he does.
I think there's a possibility we don't...We need some actual football to talk about.
If Doug got fired, good defence or not...
Shafer would not be the head coach...
You might have proven to be right but we will never know. Don't understand the logic behind that conclusion.
I guess that would really have depended on when they would have fired him.Well the defense in 2012 wasn't all that great, a bit better than 2011 and the worst rushing and scoring defense in the four years they had been here. 2012 was an offense first team.
If Marrone had been bounced they were not going to hire internally.
